Sweat NASH ZT Nordic Fleece Zipped Hoody

Product highlights

Designed for demanding anglers, the NASH ZT Nordic Fleece Zipped Hoody is a technical fishing fleece jacket conceived as a true mid layer between your thermal base layers and an outer shell. Its knitted outer fabric with a heathered look delivers a soft hand-feel while remaining highly abrasion-resistant — ideal for cluttered swims, frequent bank-side movement and intensive use by the water.

Thanks to a thick fleece construction combined with a thermal inner lining, this zipped hoody traps heat and distributes it evenly across the chest, arms and back. The regular fit strikes a good balance between comfort and freedom of movement whether casting, fighting a fish or sitting on your bedchair.

The full-length zip lets you instantly adjust insulation to match the weather, wind or activity level. In seconds you can switch from closed, warm protection to a more ventilated opening when the sun breaks through or during higher exertion on the bank.

Benefits and key advantages

This garment stands out for its versatility across the fishing season. In autumn and early spring it can be worn as the main outer layer, benefiting from its water-repellent properties to resist light showers and ambient moisture. In mid-winter it becomes a highly effective thermal intermediate layer under a breathable waterproof jacket, limiting heat loss during sudden temperature drops on night sessions.

The combination of a robust outer fabric and reinforcements on the shoulders and elbows protects high-wear areas when carrying a sling bag, transporting buckets or handling rods. The high collar and shaped hood create an extra barrier against cold drafts, especially appreciated during long waits in windy conditions. The ZT Tech Protect pocket is a crucial asset for keeping phone, bite alarm or receiver safe and within reach in humid environments, reducing the risk of condensation and water ingress.

By choosing this zipped fishing fleece jacket, you opt for a garment specifically designed for waterside use that is equally comfortable for everyday wear and other outdoor activities.

Usage recommendations

To get the best performance from this fleece mid layer, wear it over a breathable base layer that wicks sweat away and, if needed, under a waterproof, windproof jacket when conditions become very wet or windy. Layering this way allows easy adjustment of thermal comfort by opening or closing the different layers.

During approach walks or periods of high activity, feel free to open the front zip wide to release excess heat, then close it gradually when you settle. After sessions, always allow the fleece to air dry completely before storing to preserve the insulating properties of the fibres. Regular washing following general care guidance for technical garments and avoiding fabric softeners helps maintain the fabric’s softness and the outer material’s resistance to light showers.

Available in multiple sizes, this regular-fit fleece should be chosen close to the body to play its insulating role effectively while retaining the freedom of movement required for casting, landing fish and handling gear.
